- PublicationOpen AccessImpact of Environmental Disclosure on Firm Performance : the Mediating Role of Green Innovation(Universidad de Murcia, Servicio de Publicaciones, 2023) Malik, Fizzah; Wang, Fangjun; Li, Jiyuan; Naseem, Muhammad AkramThis study focuses on the impact of environmental disclosure on financial performance. Moreover, the current study aims to explore the mediating impact of green innovation and provide novel evidence regarding this relationship using stakeholder and signalling theory. This study used a sample dataset comprising Chinese firms listed on Shanghai and Shenzhen stock exchange for the period of 2005–2016. In our measurement model, green innovation is the partial mediator between the positive relationship of environmental disclosure and firm performance. Empirical results show that environmental disclosure affects firm financial performance directly and positively influences it through green innovation in Chinese firms. The study suggests that Chinese firms have implications for improved performance by increasing environmental disclosure and green practices.
